Day 01
Delhi to Agra Tour of the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Baby Taj
- Connect with your tour representative to start the program.
- Visit the Taj Mahal, a white mausoleum built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in remembrance of his beautiful wife, "Mumtaj." It is an amazing structure and has witnessed many facets of Agra that vary from person to person. The Taj Mahal is also said to be a symbol of two pure souls who were madly in love. You can easily notice some newly married couples on the campus of this monument, paying honour to that everlasting love story. It is a dream of many couples to have a photo with this monument to hang on the wall of their home.
- Also, go to Agra Fort. The fort is perfect for those who want to experience Mughal art. Built on the bank of the River Yamuna, it also offers a distant view of the Taj Mahal. Every corner of the fort tells a different story of that period.
- Next, explore the Baby Taj - the replica of the Taj. The tomb is called I'timad-ud-Daulah, a mausoleum of Mirza Ghiyas Beg. He was the father of Nur Jahan, wife of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The same quality of marble used in constructing the Taj Mahal was also used to build this tomb, so it is referred to as the replica of the Taj Mahal.
- After spending some time here, return to conclude the tour.
